Negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell differentiation

associated omics data
GO:1905064Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~13 member genes

Q-omics provides the Negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell differentiation (GO:1905064) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 13 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in BLCA. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 10, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRC. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 32,765 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in STAD. Together, these results highlight BLCA, KIRC, and STAD as cancer lineages where the pathway shows reproducible signals across outcome, tissue activity, and molecular association analyses.

Every result is evaluated using two consensus scores. Sampling consensus measures how consistently a finding is reproduced within a cancer lineage across different conditions. Lineage consensus measures how broadly the result is shared across cancer types, distinguishing pan-cancer signals from lineage-specific patterns. Pathway-against-pathway and pathway-against-mutation comparisons are not available for ontology entities.

This table ranks reproducible pathway activity–survival associations across cancer types. High Negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell differentiation activity shows favorable associations in HNSC, SKCM and DLBC, but unfavorable associations in BLCA, COAD and LGG. In the BLCA Kaplan–Meier curve the high-activity group declines faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). BLCA ranks highest by sampling consensus for Negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell differentiation.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal activity differences for the pathway. A positive fold-change indicates higher activity in tumor tissue. The pathway shows higher tumor activity across KIRC and STAD and lower tumor activity in KICH, BRCA, KIRP and LUAD. In the KIRC box plot, tumor samples show higher pathway activity than matched normal samples (log2 FC = +0.085, t-test p < 0.001).
